Bruxism defined and graded: an international consensus

TLDR
The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible and proposed a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruXism.
Abstract
To date, there is no consensus about the definition and diagnostic grading of bruxism. A written consensus discussion was held among an international group of bruxism experts as to formulate a definition of bruxism and to suggest a grading system for its operationalisation. The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated as sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (indicated as awake bruxism). For the operationalisation of this definition, the expert group proposes a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruxism. The proposed definition and grading system are suggested for clinical and research purposes in all relevant dental and medical domains.

TL;DR: The higher correlation of reported sleep Bruxism in the cross-twin cross-time analyses in MZ than in DZ pairs implies a genetic background for bruxism persistence, which appears to be fairly persistent and somewhat higher in men than women.

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Masseter Muscle Activity in Patients with Bruxism

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the activity of the masseter muscle by surface electromyographic (sEMG) recordings and found that participants with self-reported bruxism from the study group performed more clenching events during sleep, three times more frequent than the control group.

TL;DR: A grading system of definite, probable, and possible neuropathic pain is proposed, which includes the grade possible, which can only be regarded as a working hypothesis, and the grades probable and definite, which require confirmatory evidence from a neurologic examination.
